"Every game, we've had the lead or been within seven points late in the fourth quarter, in the four games we've lost, so it's frustrating, the kids are frustrated, but they still show up every day and work hard."

Magnolia lost in double overtime last week, falling 34-33 to Caney Creek. It was the team's second setback on the final play of the game. It also lost 20-17 to Rudder on a last-second field goal.
